EDITORS’ NOTES

If anyone still needs convincing about the depth of David Bowie's talent, this will make them a believer. At nearly four hours, The Platinum Collection covers Bowie's career from 1969's shimmering "Space Oddity" to 1987's clangorous "Day-In Day-Out." Along with all the expected hits, deep tracks like the glam-rocking b-side "Velvet Goldmine" and key soundtrack contributions including the ominous "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" and the chilling Pat Metheny collaboration "This is Not America" show the broadest scope of Bowie's career.

About David Bowie

Everyone has a David Bowie that they fell in love with first—the otherworldly outsider Ziggy Stardust, the electronic adventurer, the wild-eyed glam pioneer, the enigmatic storyteller. But it was Bowie's ability to reinvent himself so vividly that captivated us again and again. Driven by boundless imagination, David Bowie was a multifaceted music icon, a social provocateur, a force in fashion, and a gifted actor whose unique personas and perspectives traveled with him through the decades. From the moment his homesick astronaut captured the spotlight in the late ‘60s to his exploratory, jazz-influenced Blackstar almost 50 years later, he excelled and innovated with turns in pop, glam, punk, soul, hard rock, and electronic music. And even though Bowie released vital albums throughout his life—and will forever embody the most artful edge of rock ’n’ roll—he was more than just the music he made. Bowie's fearlessness inspired us to celebrate the complexity and beauty of being completely ourselves.
